  7. I have so many notes from all your wonderful answers…

    I love spending time surrounded by trees, too!

    As a lover of the color purple, I am totally digging the sound of your plum chase lounge!

    The “behind the veil” bit totally makes sense! The true mysteries of life!!

    Hope your sweet old pup’s health improves!

    We had some similar answers here and there. Looking forward to following along through more of your awesome writing throughout this month, Laurie! :)

  9. You were so psychic in your answers! First you have a princess throne, and then we ask about royalty. The your superpower is silliness and we ask about silly! I just giggled when I saw that. And that I'm in your yellow section - yay!

    And I'm sending love and light to you and your dog. I know how hard it is when our loved once aren't doing well. ((hugs))
